Mostly blues, but rock, roots rock, country and jazz have all influenced me to a large degree. Favorite artists include Doug MacLeod, Rick Vito, Sonny Landreth, Clapton, BB King, Mark Selby, Derek Trucks, Cross Canadian Ragweed, North Mississippi Allstars, John Hiatt, John Fogerty, Harry Manx, Kelly Joe Phelps, Buddy Guy, Roy Buchanan (true master of the telecaster).
2Buck Chuck : I've been playing guitar for longer than I can remember. I sing too. Main axe's are an American Deluxe Strat HSS, a Telecaster TC-90, and a Fender FR48 Resonator. I like my blues hot, my beer cold, and my wine cheap ;-)
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
